Zonal winds in Titan's middle atmosphere from a stellar occultation observed with Keck adaptive optics
Theresa C. Marlin, Eliot F. Young, Katherine de Kleer +9
We present spatially resolved Keck/NIRC2 images of a stellar occultation by Titan on September 5, 2022 and compare them to predictions from concurrent ALMA observations and a suite…
Impacts into Titan's methane-clathrate crust as a source of atmospheric methane
Shigeru Wakita, Brandon C. Johnson, Jason M. Soderblom +5
Titan is the only icy satellite in the solar system with a dense atmosphere. This atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen with a few percent methane, which supports an active,…
Aeolian sediment transport on Io from lava-frost interactions
George D. McDonald, Joshua Méndez Harper, Lujendra Ojha +4
Surface modification on Jupiter's volcanically active moon, Io, has to date been attributed almost exclusively to lava emplacement and volcanic plume deposits. Here we demonstrate…
Titan: Earth-like on the Outside, Ocean World on the Inside
Shannon M. MacKenzie, Samuel P. D. Birch, Sarah Horst +30
Thanks to the Cassini-Huygens mission, Titan, the pale orange dot of Pioneer and Voyager encounters has been revealed to be a dynamic, hydrologically-shaped, organic-rich ocean wor…
Modeling transmission windows in Titan's lower troposphere: Implications for infrared spectrometers aboard future aerial and surface missions
Paul Corlies, George D. McDonald, Alexander G. Hayes +10
From orbit, the visibility of Titan's surface is limited to a handful of narrow spectral windows in the near-infrared (near-IR), primarily from the absorption of methane gas. This…
Meridional variation in tropospheric methane on Titan observed with AO spectroscopy at Keck and VLT
Máté Ádámkovics, Jonathan L. Mitchell, Alexander G. Hayes +10
The spatial distribution of the tropospheric methane on Titan was measured using near-infrared spectroscopy. Ground-based observations at 1.5 (H-band) were performed duri…
